For those of you who bought a full Tokico Illumina kit...

I got mine today - rear shocks and front shocks. Now the rear shocks each have a little baggy with the adjustable **** and what not, but the front shocks only have a bag with a bug nut in it... how the hell do you adjust the stiffness of the srpings on the front struts after installation (mine are not in yet)?

Well yes but - how do you access it? On the fronts I suppose you can get to it through the engine pay where the strut bar is at, but on the rears?

I'm cutting a small hole in my carpeting to adjust them when I do the install next weekend, hopefully.

What for? How often will you actually adjust them?

It's easy enough just to pull back the plastic carpet.

planning on possibly getting a rear strut bar, so it'll have to be there no matter what, not fully decided yet though, and I like to change my driving style depending on the occasion, jetting around town, hot date, road trip, etc...
